Curtis Cloke is one of (if not THE) smartest guys in our industry! He has all the math and science behind a sustainable retirement income stream. He’s going to show you how to hedge against major retirement risks, especially longevity. People are living longer than ever these days, so definitely tune in and make sure you have the bases covered for your clients. With the risks of retirement come opportunities for you to do more business with your clients!

We’ll also hear from Dr. Steve Franklin, who is passionate about capturing the wisdom, wit, and advice of centenarians across America and energetically sharing it with the younger generation. With Americans living longer than ever, the research and stories Steve has collected can help us educate our clients on what to expect as they age.

Last but not least is David Bellaire, EVP of the Financial Services Institute. He’ll give us a post-election DoL Update and what to expect from President Trump & his administration. (Psst! All DoL Updates are posted on our blog!)
